3rd Annual Longmont CollaBEERation 5k & Brew Fest After-Party

Event Description

Join us, in collaboration with Left Hand Brewing and our friends Under Armour, for our 3rd Annual Longmont CollaBEERation 5k & Brewfest on Saturday, April 8th!

We are excited to announce that this year, the race proceeds will go to our The Left Hand Foundation. They do great things for our community and you will help them continue to do good!

The flat and fast 5k begins on the St.Vrain Greenway at Left Hand Brewing and continues through the newly opened trail system that winds under Sunset Blvd and over to Roger’s Grove. The race finishes at Shoes and Brews with Longmont-brewed-beer from Shoes & Brews, Left Hand Brewing ( and see all breweries below), live music, and a sweet post-race expo!

If you’re feeling rather fast on race day, you may even qualify to win your weight in beer from Left Hand Brewing! First place female and male runners will walk away with a keg of their choice, so start adding in the speed-work and the gains because how often do you have the chance to win YOUR WEIGHT IN BEER??

If you’re feeling less fast and more fancy, we have added the Best Dressed category to our race this year. Winners of this category will receive the sublime Left Hand Brewing Beer 4 a Year Certificate, which is obviously worthy of you putting in some effort on that costume you’ve been thinking about.

If you’re not feeling fast OR fancy, you can just try your luck at being a random prize winner! Shoes, watches, apparel, nutrition, race entries, beer and MORE will be raffled off!
